  i know that some people on the board have experience of being mormons, so i would be interested in your feedback.

  at church this afternoon it was an uncanny experience.

  in the past i've read a lot about mormons, so i thought i was prepared in general for what it would be like.

  I think it's hilarious that they believe Christ came and preached to the native Americans. Too funny.

  Has Robert Ciranko replaced Don Adams as president of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania ?

  by EdenOne in

  1. social
  2. current

  robert ciranko has been a "helper" of the governing body in the writing department.. don adams (born 1925, presumably 91 years old now) has been president of the wtbts since 2000. .

  however, in recent official posts (april 2016), robert ciranko is identified as "president of the watch tower".

  does anybody know what happened and if this is an official change?.

  We had a circuit overseer some 20 years ago by the name of Dick Ciranko. Same person? Or a relative?

  Some African countries have serious communication problems. It is common for the branch to not get reports for 3 months or more. And then get all the reports at once. I am told that is true in Congo DR.

  The best assembly I ever attended was a French assembly in the US. I couldn't understand a word. It was great.

  Are we sure that there aren't more 'compound'-ish structures?

  by BlackSwan of Memphis in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  wasn't sure where to put this but .... .

  so mr bsom and i got to talking and we got to wondering if there aren't other compound like buildings being structured, or if assembly halls have been built with greater living quarters?

  the entirety of this situation is really beginning to shape up like the davidians or jim jones.

  Some of the Bethel homes (Africa) for instance are much like a bunker. High walls , guards (unarmed), controlled Access. This is for security since the country is unsafe.

  They used to put white faces in the US literature and black faces in the African literature. Do they still do that?

  "Bethelites told they weren’t doing enough, hadn’t reached their potential so about half of them walked out of the talk"

  by oppostate in

  this was news to me, it's from a year and a half ago,.

  from joe emerson at http://www.christianwitnesses.com.

  bethelites told they weren’t doing enough, hadn’t reached their potential so about half of them walked out of the talk; efforts made to get names of those who walked out but didn’t get them all.

  I agree that the message looks bogus. Nothing in it sounds legit.
